This is becoming a habit. This time around, it was Michael Sinclair and Nev Brook who neglected to call each other before heading to W+K towers this morning.
And for the record, the fire exit is not in Nev's right ear. Just in case you're ever in the building.
It's week two of W+K's window project This Is Why We Meet. We saw three shoe makers and a costume designer from London College of Fashion (the lovely Kristy White, Hollie White [no relation in case you were wondering] Frankie O'Dowd and Yuliya Krylova) battling with sling boxes, latex, leather and a tonne of blue paint. The resulting work from their collaboration they have titled Read The Directions And Directly You Will Be Directed In The Right Direction. A bit of a mouth-full!The team have layered up colours and textures on the surface of our windows on Hanbury St.They have suspended a seriers of handmade and utterly surreal tools (using their adept cordwaining abilities) and are inviting passers by to use these tools, and their hands, to leave their mark and alter the surface of the glass. Through becoming part of this process the public are able to reveal a video screen, enabling the audience on either side of the road to temporarily face one another, temporarily engage eye contact, and to be temporarily confused and enthused.
It seems to be going down well with our vertically challenged neighbours.
Anything that gets Londoners making eye contact with eachother is pretty good in our books.
If you can't make it down to see the exhibit, take a look at their working and the final result here.
